2. What the patient receives
The patient will then receive an SMS or email with a link to open the questionnaire as below.
The patient is taken to an identification validation screen where they simply need to enter their data of birth.
Once correctly identified, the patient can then complete the questionnaire.
If there is a score, the patient can calculate the score and submit their answers.

Once submitted, this comes through to the practice as a task which requires actioning. NOTE - These tasks come into SystmOne as Unassigned - you may wish to setup a task rule so the task goes to an appropriate staff group
You are then given the opportunity to review what data is going to be added to the patient record and you can deselect items if appropriate.
